According to the German press agency (“dpa”), the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office has brought charges against a suspected Islamist who allegedly killed a man from Krefeld with a knife in Dresden in autumn 2020.

The knife attack had occurred in October last year in Dresden’s old town. The suspect is said to have stabbed two tourists from North Rhine-Westphalia completely at random. The 55-year-old victim from Krefeld died shortly afterwards in hospital. His 53-year-old companion from Cologne survived seriously injured.

The suspect’s motive is believed to be hatred of homosexuals. The charges are murder, attempted murder and dangerous bodily harm.

The man had been known to the authorities for years. He had been released from juvenile detention only a few days before the knife attack.

The Dresden Higher Regional Court will decide if and when the trial will take place, according to the German Press Agency (dpa).

The police have arrested three brothers who allegedly planned an Islamist attack.

According to the German press agency (“dpa”), one of the Syrian-born men was arrested last weekend in Dietzenbach (Offenbach), the other two in Denmark. Chemicals were also found there. On the mobile phone of one of the suspects, the investigators also found a picture with the flag of the terrorist militia “Islamic State” (IS). It is not yet known where the alleged attack should have taken place.

A 31-year-old Syrian migrant was arrested in Kaiserslautern for the murder of a 48-year-old Hungarian housewife, but he was eventually released, Hungarian news portal Origo reports.

The German prosecutor’s office said no evidence had been found that the man had been directly involved in the murder of the woman only identified as Diana, but the man was still being investigated whether he had been involved in the crime as an accomplice. Although he is still being investigated, that did not stop the police from releasing him.

Origio reports that a Hungarian woman named Diana went to Munich for the first time last year to take up a nursing position, but she eventually refused this job on health grounds. She then went to the Kaiserslautern area, where she found work as a housekeeper for an American family.

German police arrested a 31-year-old Syrian asylum seeker accused of murder shortly before Christmas. The man also remanded in custody on the grounds that he was in danger of escaping but was later released.

German police are investigating the murder case, and although 140 clues have been recorded at the scene, polixe say they still have plenty of questions. They are still looking to determine exactly where Diana lived, who else she worked for, and who last saw her between Dec. 4 and Dec. 14.

Police currently suspect that the murder could have been committed between Dec. 11 and Dec. 13, but they are also looking for eyewitnesses who may have seen the perpetrators carrying the body away from the murder scene. Their current assumption is that the woman was not killed at the scene where the body was found, but her killer only later transported the body there.

We are a few kilometers from the Palace of Versailles, but an abyss separates the famed residence of the kings from Trappes, where Louis XIV built the ponds as water reservoirs for the castle park.

In the spotlight ever since a philosophy teacher who paid homage to Samuel Paty must now live under police protection, the French city of Trappes is a laboratory for understanding how thirty years of multicultural ideology in the suburbs does not lead to cultural enrichment, but to the death of Western culture. The weekly Valeurs Actuelles gives us a glimpse of life in Trappes.

“Trappes is known for providing a large contingent of jihadists to the Islamic State. Trappes has 32,000 inhabitants, 70% of them Muslims, 40-50 different nationalities. Most often born here, the residents wear hijab, qami, sarouel, traditional Middle Eastern clothing.

“There are no more mixed hairdressers. Fundamentalist bookshops and Islamic clothing stores abound around the Omaribn-al-Khattâb mosque, a stone’s throw from the trendy bars of Oberkampf Street. Women no longer venture out with bare arms. Friday prayers flood the streets and are not subject to any sanctions. The submission is complete. The church cannot compete with the five mosques ”.

Eric Zemmour, on his show Face à l’Ainfo on CNews, said that Trappes has become “a Muslim city, governed by Islamic law”. According to him, “there is no longer French law there” and Trappes has become a breeding ground for Islam. “It is a territory that is no longer French, which is no longer governed by French law, so says this professor”.

What did Trappes professor Didier Lemaire, threatened with death and now forced to move with the police escort, say? Here it is below:

“After the Jews left Trappes, no more anti-Semitic inscriptions on the city walls. There is no longer a mixed hairdresser. Maghreb women can no longer enter cafes. The veil exerts tremendous pressure on women. Then it is the moderate Muslims and the atheists who leave. Fundamentalists are successfully completing their purification process “

Father Étienne Guillet, 44, is the priest of Trappes. He has a strong community because his parishioners come from Cape Verde, Congo, Ivory Coast, India. But then he admits to Vatican News: “The Trappes mosque hosts 3000 people, our church has only 400 seats”. Five mosques, one church and a synagogue – which was set on fire -: a Turkish mosque run by the government of Ankara; a Tabligh mosque; a small mosque-prayer hall; a sub-Saharan mosque; the great mosque run by the main religious association of the city close to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Two journalists from the newspaper Le Monde spent a year in Trappes and documented their experience in the book “La communauté”, where they describe a parallel society where Islamists dominate public life.

And then the model overflows. In the nearby city of La Verrière, we observe “the withdrawal of Muslim women from the labor market”, “a strong, widespread, permanent community logic”, and pressure to finance a Salafist mosque or to wear the veil. Paris Match also talked about Trappes, adding another element: “In Trappes, all butchers are halal”.

It is Michel Houellebecq’s “Submission” that has become reality.

The coalition of Christdemocrats (CDU) and Liberals (FDP) in North Rhine-Westphalia planned to take a “completely new approach” to Islamic religious education. The Turkish state, Turkish nationalists and associations monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution were no longer to be responsible. Instead, “liberal Muslims” should have a say – this is what the Minister for Integration Joachim Stamp (FDP) and his State Secretary Serap Güler (CDU) promised in 2017.Almost four years later, little has remained of this. The state has established a commission in which Muslim communities are to have a say about Islamic religious education (IRU) – about teachers, textbooks, curricula. But apart from a few exceptions, this commission will essentially be made up of those associations that the state government once warned against. The Ministry of Education, which is in charge, has offered them the opportunity to become members of the commission. This is what research by the newspaper WELT has revealed.One of them is the Ditib association, which is controlled by the Turkish state. For years, it was in a state of disfavour because informers from Ditib groups had denounced local critics of the Turkish government to the Turkish authorities. In addition, militant-nationalist propaganda events in Ditib congregations had become known. In 2017, Minister Stamp therefore decided with regard to Ditib: “Anyone who denounces and spies cannot be a partner in the organisation of Islamic school lessons for one day longer.This hard line now seems to be passé. When asked, the Ministry of Education did not want to comment officially on the invited associations. Nevertheless, the ministry defends itself by saying that each commission member must contractually guarantee to be “independent and non-governmental” and to respect constitutional principles. Those who break the terms of the contract can be removed from the commission by the ministry. The Islamic Council (IR), which is largely influenced by the Milli Görüs organisation, has also been invited to participate.And it is classified by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution as Islamist with certain exceptions. However, according to the newspaper WELT, the IR is considered “cooperative and reliable” within the ministry. The situation is similar regarding the theologically conservative Association of Islamic Cultural Centres (VIKZ).Like Ditib and IR, VIKZ used to conduct ” tests of ideology” in the selection of IRU teachers and interfered in the private lives of teachers, complains the Association of Islamic Teachers (VdI). The Albanian UIAZD will also join the commission. It is in line with Ditib, Islamrat and VIKZ and grouped in an umbrella organisation: the Coordination Council of Muslims (KRM).There are reasons for this set-up of the commission: With their many hundreds of thousands of members nationwide, the KRM associations are the largest Muslim associations. For decades, their mosques have organised the religious life of local Muslims. If you are looking for a stable representation of a relevant number of Muslims, you cannot get around them. At least, that seems to be the intention of the Ministry of Education – despite all the warnings from the Ministry of Integration.Critics see this as a victory for the so-called conservative Muslims. Lamya Kaddor, an Islamic scholar from Duisburg, for example, comments sharply: “Those who expose young Muslims to the influence of partly ultra-conservative, partly nationalist associations should not complain if such tendencies increase in the country,” she says in an interview with WELT. Now the ministry could defend itself against such accusations by saying that it had after all put a nationalist-influenced force outside for good: the Central Council of Muslims (ZMD). The ZMD is not allowed to participate in the IRU because its members are members of the Turkish nationalist Atib.But this does little to change the balance of power in the commission, in which hardly any liberal groups are represented. The Liberal Islamic League (LIB), for example, was rejected. Its activities are praised by the state, but it only has a few hundred members and a single mosque. The ministry told the LIB that it had to build up a national association and more mosques – which is not easy for a group of volunteers.With this occupation, the country has renounced to break the power of the KRM Muslims. The opportunity to do so existed. This is because the first draft of the Commission Act did not yet stipulate that an organisation must necessarily operate mosque congregations in order to be allowed to participate in the Commission.

Of the 16 federal German states, only Saxony and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania produce police reports that, in general, reveal the nationalities of crime suspects, but another state may soon join them. 

The Saxon Ministry of the Interior stated that disclosing nationalities is “the principle of transparent communication.” Currently, North Rhine-Westphalia is preparing a similar decree as the one in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which requires police to always name nationalities of suspects, according to Junge Freiheit. North Rhine-Westphalia has one of Germany’s largest migrant populations and has been dealing with a rise in Arab clan crime in recent years. 

Meanwhile, Baden-Württemberg and Bremen announced that they would investigate whether there was a justified public interest in revealing such information.

Rhineland-Palatinate and several other federal states then stated that they mainly use the press code to guide such disclosures. Regarding naming the nationalities, the code states that “as a rule, nationality should not be mentioned unless there is a justified public interest”. That would concern, for example, cases of a particularly serious crime.

The last time the press code changed was in 2017. Before then, it was recommended that the nationality would only be disclosed if there was a “justified factual reference” to the crime. For example, Bavaria follows this principle.

Although Lower Saxony has a regulation stating that nationalities should only be mentioned in special cases, the investigation by Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) and Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) broadcasters revealed that the Lüneburg police station mentions nationalities particularly frequently when it comes to migrants’ countries of origin. However, that will soon change.

“The Ministry of the Interior proved that in principle, no nationalities should be named,” a police spokesman told the broadcasters.

Disclosing the origin of the perpetrator in police reports had been discussed again and again, especially since the attacks on New Year’s Eve 2015/2016 in Cologne. In autumn 2019, this was also a topic at the Conference of Interior Ministers where the federal states could not agree on a joint approach. 

Data on foreigners, but not country of origin, is collected in nationwide statistics, which found that those without a German passport committed 35 percent of all crime in 2019 despite representing only 12 percent of the population. In areas such as murder, assault, and sexual assault, the proportion of those without a German passport committing such a crime was even higher. Still, exact numbers are unclear, and the question of exactly how many murders refugees have committed has also remained an open question.

According to information from a French weekly, Turkish power exerts an increasingly important influence on French territory.

While the tension between France and Turkey has increased over the past year, the French intelligence services are alarmed by the growing influence of Turkish power reported Journal du dimanche (JDD). In its edition of February 7, several reports sent to the Élysée by the General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI), the General Directorate of External Security (DGSE) and the Intelligence Directorate of the Prefecture of Police (DRPP) at the end of October 2020 alerted the executive on an infiltration strategy orchestrated from Ankara via the Turkish embassy and MIT, the Turkish spy service.

French intelligence services estimate that Ankara exercises “control of the Turkish community” through 650 associations, coordinated by a confederation represented not only in France but also in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. According to JDD, Erdogan can rely on a strong popularity with the diaspora in France and throughout Northern Europe. “He wants to nip any dispute in the bud,” explained the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the columns of the weekly. For example, the Turkish government has woven a network of schools intended to educate children according to the precepts of the AKP, the conservative Islamist party founded and led by Erdogan.

On an official visit to Paris on January 5, 2018, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told the leaders of the French Council for Muslim Worship (CFCM): “The Muslims of France are under my protection. Those who touch you touch me.”

“The problem is that these are future binationals,” said a French security expert. “French people who are trained by a foreign state to be sensitive to Islamist theses.”

Finally, according to the secret services, the Erdogan regime affects “French political life by relying on binational candidates in local elections”. This discreet offensive was detected especially in Alsace, geographically close to Germany, cradle of the Turkish community in Europe, and where the concordat of 1801 still applies (by exception to the law of 1905 on secularism) , offering facilities to religious organizations subject to Ankara.

One of the reports that the JDD was able to read, denounced an interference doomed to “influence the political decisions” of certain communities. According to another, “the DGSI was able to observe the implementation of stratagems aimed at presenting Franco-Turkish candidates on the maximum number of lists in the same city, so that the winner has at least one Turkish running mate who can help defend Ankara’s interests”.
